FOOTBALL clubs and fans called on the government today to work with the sport and allow fans back inside stadiums sooner rather than later, or risk losing a host of clubs forever.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed that the October 1 plan of allowing limited number of supporters to attend games has been shelved for six months, with fears of a second lockdown.

However, English Football league and non-league clubs believe that there is a safe and responsible way of having fans at game over the upcoming weeks and are urging the Tories to commit to another U-turn, especially if people are allowed to continue drinking in pubs during this time period.
